While the bread is cooking, make the dressing. Whisk together the oil, vinegar and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Add to it the lamb's lettuce, beetroot and red pepper and toss well so that the dressing gets coated over the vegetables. Divide these four individual platters and top with the grilled bread slices. Serve and enjoy!
